Matthias Veit - Notturno: Music Of Lights And Shadows

Notturno is a game: an interplay of light and shade in a quasi nocturnal setting that is occasionally illuminated by dazzling daylight.Pianist Matthias Veit unfurls a �panorama of correspondence�, shifting between tense tranquility and colourful dramatics. Iridescent character pieces inhabited by ghostly figures, unknown and well-loved gems from the piano repertoire span a net that stretches from the Romantic era to the modern day.Works from Crumb�s �Makrokosmos� initiate a musical discourse of pro and contra between the great piano composers, which breathes a single deep musical breath right from the start � ending with an unexpected culmination.
